Tenants' use of outside space of a property

What limits are there to the tenants' use of outside space of a property? Can tenants decide to cut trees or bushes without asking permission first? Is this something that should be addressed in a lease? Can tenant's decide to do work on a car in the garage/driveway? If tenants do that, can the landlord ask for expenses to clean up anything left behind (or from anything similar for example spray-painting something or building furniture)?

If a tenant decides to do one of the fore-mentioned things or something similar and injures another is the landlord responsible or the tenant? If a tenant asks to do something, you say no and they do it anyway is there a remedy for the landlord? Can a landlord send a tenant a letter to cease and desist any of these activities (or watering the lawn, or having a garden, or paint ball in the yard, or target practice, etc)?
